Maratonkarusellen takes place in Bergen on the west coast of Norway on Saturday 19 August 2028, with three distances on offer: a full marathon, a half marathon and a 10 km race. Bergen is a compact coastal city ringed by mountains and sea, and the event starts and finishes within the urban area. Runners can choose between the classic 42 km challenge, the half marathon or the shorter 10 km option on the same day. Full course maps, start times and entry details are published by the organiser through the EQ Timing event page, which should be checked before travelling or entering.

Other questions
The race is scheduled for Saturday 19 August 2028 in Bergen, Norway. Always confirm the date on the organiser's EQ Timing event page before booking travel, as dates can change.
Three distances are listed: a full marathon, a half marathon and a 10 km race. All three are held on the same day, so runners of different abilities can take part side by side.
The exact start and finish area is published by the organiser closer to race day. Bergen city centre is compact and walkable, and public transport links the centre with the surrounding districts, so most runners can reach the start without a car.
August is one of the milder months on Norway's west coast, but Bergen is famously wet and changeable, with frequent showers and temperatures that can feel cool in the wind. Pack a light waterproof layer and expect rain at some point during the day.
That depends on the course profile, which the organiser publishes with the race information. Bergen is hilly in places, so study the route map and elevation details before committing to the full distance as your debut.
